What is TMJ Dysfunction

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jaw to your skull and works every time you talk, chew, yawn, or swallow. When this joint becomes irritated, misaligned, tight, or inflamed, it can cause; Jaw pain or tenderness, clicking, popping, or locking, difficulty opening or closing the mouth, headaches or migraines, neck pain and muscle tension, and facial pain or tightness

TMJ issues are often linked to:

Stress and clenching/grinding

Poor posture (especially forward head posture)

Neck dysfunction

Previous injury

Dental alignment issues
